At the NRECA conference

Posted On March 24, 2010 by sammy

I had the opportunity to address a group of electrical cooperatives at a recent conference in sunny Atlanta, which was actually snowy. I always welcome the challenge of bringing technical security concepts to a new audience and this was an excellent crowd. The ensuing Q&A showed the broad range of concerns from these small electrical cooperatives that are beginning to deal with a tidal wave of new statutory, regulatory, security, privacy, and technology requirements, along with things yet unimagined. Although the vast majority of these organizations are very small, I was very impressed by their willingness to understand and work toward meeting the new requirements.

I did have a case of the “ummmmmm”s while speaking.

Here is video of my opening segment and the first question of the Q&A. To see the full session, you can view it from the NRECA conference Keynote Speakers page.
